Quotes[]
- Angel: "Listen. Listen." What are you listening for?
- Fred Burkle: The click. When it all comes together and makes sense, there's like a click in your brain and you understand things again.
- Angel: Well, what happens if you run out of wall space before you get the click?
- Fred Burkle: I don't know.
- Angel: Fred. You know, you spend...five years in a place where humans could only be slaves or fugitives. I know that wasn't a picnic for you, but you're home now. You're safe. You can come out of your room.
....
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: I realize we sacrifice a great deal of our social lives, but we have to. Work demands it.
- Charles Gunn: True. I mean who's got time for love when you're out there doing it with the demons? Didn't that come out sad and wrong?
- Cordelia Chase: Yeah.
- Charles Gunn: I need to get out more.
....
- Angel: I'm okay.
- Cordelia Chase: Then - what's the problem?
- Angel: That I'm okay. That losing Buffy didn't kill me. That I could deal with it. In all those years, no one ever mattered. Not like she did. And now she's gone... forever.
- Cordelia Chase: And you're still here.
- Angel: Yeah. I just feel like I'm betraying her somehow.
- Cordelia Chase: No! If you were a loser, if you were some sick obsessed vampire, you'd go to a Snod demon, or whatever, and get your heart cut out. But you're not! You're a living, breathing... well, living, anyway - good guy, who's still fighting and trying to help people, and that's not betraying her, that's honoring her.
- Angel: You think?
- Cordelia Chase: I'm Cordelia. I don't think. I know. Okay?
